Valid question, so here's the thing: an inground pool is a huge investment. And unlike a new car that you could simply return if things go awry, once a pool is in your backyard...it's your baby.
That makes both the quality of the pool and the manner in which it is installed extremely important.
Several components of our advanced installation methodology come together to "lock" the pool in place to prevent the following:
Here's a diagram showing these components:
We have installed over 1,000 fiberglass pools since 2001 with a singular goal in mind: to continuously develop a series of best practices and methodologies that will produce the longest-lasting fiberglass pool installations possible.
The River Pools Way is the result of this evolutionary process.
If you are considering a fiberglass pool for your backyard, we encourage you to do your homework so you are prepared to ask your potential pool builders some tough questions...questions that could make all the difference with regards to how well your pool endures the test of time.
In fact, here is a Pool Builder Vetting Checklist we put together just to help you with this process.
We would also encourage you to visit our advanced installation page where you can learn about all these aspects of The River Pools Way.
And yes, we manufacture fiberglass pools as well! Take a look at our pool designs, try out our pool pricing calculator, or request a custom quote using the button below.
Finally, if you live outside of Virginia and southern Maryland (our service area) and would like to find a dealer that embraces and uses The River Pools Way, you can find a River Pools Independent Authorized Dealer near you.

River Pools® manufactures fiberglass pool shells and does not install pools. Pools are installed by locally owned and operated dealers and franchisees. The relationship between the dealers and franchisees to River Pools® is that of an independent contractor. River Pools Franchising LLC (Franchising) provides independently owned and operated River Pool franchisees with the right to market the River Pools brand of pool shells as a franchisee. Franchising does not manufacture pool shells. Due to the unprecedented and historic growth of the River Pools brand, this website contains an abundance of information that has been created over the last decade. Some of the content on this site may reflect prices, perspectives, processes, entities, and names that were relevant at the time but may not be as relevant today.
Consumers should consult their local installer (independent dealer or franchisee) for the most accurate and updated information based on the unique conditions of their property. Consumers should verify specifications with the installing dealer rather than relying on the information on this website, which is not intended to be a final specification.
